Because of this, Hinz explains, Iran has been putting more effort into developing its own air defence systems. According to Iran, this system has a range of 120 kilometres and includes its own short-range missile defence. Each time they activated their missile defence systems, they could refine their algorithms and improve their procedures, he added. The Iron Dome, a missile defence system guided by radar, has successfully intercepted over 90% of short-range rockets aimed at Israel. This feature allows the missile to change its path slightly during the final phase of its descent, helping it avoid missile defence systems before reaching its target.
